Legs spreadeagled, hands tied
They violate my body with each thrust they make
My tears and snot fall onto my face
The sack over my head makes me thankful
That I don't have to see their faces
In between I black out and this is preferable
Though when I gain consciousness
It is a burning fire that I feel in between my legs
My body tattered, my soul bruised
Death would be a warm welcome if it came knocking
But no, they are not done with me
One by one they take their turns
Mutilating, degrading me bit by bit
I give up screaming after a while
My cries only seem to add to their pleasure
Left to their mercy, they relish the power they have
On me and my body; whimpering cries
I soil my clothes and my body is filled with grit and blood
Theirs or mine?
I close my eyes and think of happier times
A bickering sister, a loving father, a warm mother
Seemingly so detached now
The names may change
But my story remains the same
Tell me, is it foolish of me to think there is hope for me at all?
P.S. I just finished reading this and I'm beyond disturbed still. May the faceless and nameless Jaanvis in our life get justice.

That is a very touching poem, on the gruesome crimes against women. May all the Janvis get the much needed justice.

DeleteI sincerely hope the Jaanvis of the world get justice but more than that I pray that world should be so safe that no girl should ever have to undergo such ordeal. Made me sad.

Thank you.
DeleteOh my God! It was painful enough just reading this! Can't imagine the horror that a human can be subjected to by another....but no these are the deeds of vile creatures who cannot even be clubbed with animals. Jaanvi and others like her have to get justice and the demons must be meted with something worse than death!

I agree with that. Death would be too kind a punishment for such monsters.
DeleteOh no what a disturbing story. Brought out the anguish and gruesomeness really well.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Reema. I have only tried. What they undergo is so much worse than this.

DeleteThat was such a heart breaking and powerful tale. Every single expression is written so vividly that it kind of gives the hunch of what is it like when such a heinous thing as this happen to a woman!
ReplyDeleteI'm amused with this piece!
